I loved that! "If Brooklyn throws up one of you has to clean it up." You are so calm and matter-of-fact. Cracks me up. And I think I hve that exact same chair. Don't think I'll show my 4 kids this idea. ;0)

lol I would have got Clay to walk towards you lol being dizzy and watched him trying to walk lol thats what I do to my kids ( omg I sound like a really mean mum ) I was going to leave a comment on a previous post about telling you where we are so you can come here for the book tour but noticed there was 665 comment!!!!!!! How about coming to Australia for the tour too that would be cool

you have got to have the most adorable kids ever! I work with kids and i they just think of the craziest things to do yet still have tons of fun! Btw i'm super excited for your upcoming book! If your book tour comes to Southern California i know i'll be there!

Well, if this writer thing doesn't work out, perhaps your family can be *safety testers* for various products. You could have your own seal (Like the Good Housekeeping Seal). *Passed tests by all 6 of Dawn's kids* OR *Safety Tested by CLAY*. LOL!!!

You (your children) just made my day ten million bazillion quadrillion times better than it started (it's only 9am). I love children's laughter!! I would love to have a ticket to that chair right now!! And you're right, what a cheap way for entertainment...you had three children doing "nothing" at the same time!! I'm impressed!! Thanks for all of the videos, keep them coming!

I agree with the previous comment...the scariest thing about that video is the footage of Caillou on the TV! That bald kid just creeps me out for some reason.

Looks like they were all having loads of fun, but I'm glad my Clay-wannabe didn't walk in while I was watching it! I'm just a bit jealous that you manage to stay so calm amidst impending disaster. Must learn to channel Dawn....

Ahahaha! That cracked me up. It was funny enough to start with, but to see him flying without his feet even touching the ground... awesome!

Reminds me of the time my oldest two "modified" the toy shopping cart that we had. One boy sat in it, while the other one pushed him from one end of the house to the other. I got some great pics of the expressions on their faces as they laughed and carried on(and eventually slammed into their-then 10 month old brother who was in his walker and would totally brace himself for the impact).

My favourite part was soon after you told them they would clean up puke if need be, Clay's sweet little voice pipes up, "Are you getting dizzy, Brooklyn??" and it SO TOOK ME BACK to my youngest two when they were a tad younger!! Clay and Brooklyn remind me so much of them, although my two are even closer in age (16 months) but he just sounded so much like my sweet little "Clown". It just so happens that I posted a few days ago something kind of cute about them. In one of your spare moments, maybe you can go check it out:) LOL

I am amazed you actually have any furniture left in your house at all!When my son was around two years my mum called him "Sid Bishop" as this was the name of a Demolition Company near where she lived. Their slogan was "watch it come down".

I could see my 4 heathens doing that,too. Thank goodness I don't have a spinning desk chair! My kiddos would either break it... or they'd break a bone trying! ^_^ I'd have been laughing too hard to get video of it, though.

Love the video...so great to see them having so much fun for no money!! We play that game too...but I'm often the CHAIR:(

* I think I'll have to invest in an office chair like that one.DebraP.S. I'm a fellow Minneasotan( sp?)I've been in Texas long enough to say 'ya'll ' with ease...but I miss the north. We lived around Lake Nokomis and left before Mall of America was built - someday I'm going to make there ~ you just put that 'yearning pang' to return and check out that mall back in my heart...a few blogs ago;)~

This just made me laugh on an otherwise not so hot day. I'm the mom of 2, an 18 month old daughter and a 4 month old son. Things have been rough lately. My husband has been away from us for almost nine months, the last six he's been in Iraq, and we still have eight months to go before we get him back from over there. Your blog, whether it be funny, serious, about your kids or about your most recent trip...never fails to brighten my day. I've been keeping up since the auction and will never be able to thank you properly for how you've helped me day to day. I will admit there's been a time or two at the end of a day I don't know how I made it through, I'll look back at the entries about your kids making a mess, or how you found things most humans would shudder at and it makes my toddler's tornado not seem so bad :)Thanks for sharing your life. Keep up the great work! I can't wait to get your book!

We had an office chair exactly like that, and guess what? The kids broke it swinging off the arm. We had to replace it with a new chair, since we couldn't replace the cheap plastic arm. Ah, life with kids is like disneyland every day!

That "Hi, Mommy!!" was so cute!! It's so funny seeing the things kids can come up with. Sometimes I wish I still had that much creativity left. Or, you know, that I weighed enough to be able to do that!

I read your blog daily but dont comment since I know you are flooded with comments. But today after seeing the video I just wanted to tell you how envious I am of your family :) I have one son but I always wanted at least 4. And you have done such a great job of raising all of you kids. Way to go :)

Wow. I need to keep Little Miss away from this blog! She and Mister Man play the spin the chair game all the time -- they even take turns being the spinner and spinee -- but no one has swung off the side yet. He isn't strong enough to do it, but she certainly is, and she hangs and swings off everything else, so if anyone ever gives her the idea... I'm sunk!

LOL! my cousins used to the the same thing when they were younger. anything that spun turned into a disney world ride. heck. anything that MOVED for that matter. the youngest one (who's 6 now) still does stuff like that, although he can't get anyone to sit in spinny chairs anymore. last time he tipped the chair over.

Love your blog. I have a postcard that I keep meaning to send in for Austin's (?) project--it's even addressed and everything!--except, well, I haven't written it yet. I also have no idea where I put it, or how much it costs for a stamp to the US, or if I'm supposed to go and buy American stamps or just use Canadian ones, or...I don't know enough about the town I've lived in my whole life, apparently. Maybe I'll get it in before May. Maybe.
